Goldman Sachs Group Inc. agreed to sell its GreenSky unit to a consortium led by Sixth Street Partners.

The deal, which is expected to close early next year, will result in a 19-cent-per-share hit to third-quarter earnings, according to a statement from the bank. The deal includes the technology underpinning the installment-lending platform as well as associated loan assets. Goldman had previously said it booked a $504 million writedown on goodwill in the second quarter as it prepared to sell the unit.
